Speaking on Zane Lowe's Radio One show, Homme revealed that Joey Castillo has left the band, with Grohl taking his place as the band work on their as-yet-untitled new album.

Homme revealed: "We parted ways with our drummer, Joey, who I love dearly. Dave is playing drums on this record as well, in the studio."
